No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I heard they jacked up prices due to the Avian Flu. They culled over 80,000,000 egg laying hens
That was 17% of the total population. The price went up by 400-900%, and there was never a shortage. As usual, we got shafted.
If the prices didn't go up because of a shortage, because there was never a shortage, why did prices go back down again?
The law of supply and demand explains the price of eggs. If you're saying it's wrong then what's your better egg-splanation?
The prices went back down right after the federal government announced a price fixing investigation and a bunch of news coverage came out about how their claims were bogus.

It’s correlational, not causal. There isn’t going to be a definitive source on this
Then you can find it, if you really care.
The harder you look, the more conclusively you prove you're right!
